The bloomed artichoke wears a crown of violet under the midday sun. Beside it, the other is done with its show, its heart turned to the duty of seeds.
Any feedback welcome

Great pair. Tells the story well. Not sure I’ve ever seen the plant bloom before. Fields of them must have the most intense color! The dramatic lighting and dark bg suit the subject well.
Nice juxtaposition of the stages, Saundie. The bold lighting is surprisingly effective.
Thanks for the feedback! To be quite honest, I had no idea what the plant was. I had to ask the farmer whose field it was in. It was a single plant. Imagine a field of them , that would be incredible!
